Category defines a class of spending or income. AceMoney has a built-in list of the most common categories for personal finance management. It is very important to assign a category for every transaction if you want to keep an eye on your money flow.
This screen allows you to manage the categories. You may add/delete and change existing categories. Also, if a size of a file is important for you, you might want to get rid of all unused categories. In general it's not a very good idea, but you can do it if you want.
The other important feature of category is budget limit. Once you've decided what is the most convenient budget period for you, you can set up the limits for that period at this screen. Again, the limits depend on budget period, so think about a period of time before you start entering them.
